uuuh, it wasn't just me...but a large majority at MARP. All I did was bring it up and state playing the game as you did...which is what I call you using any and every technique to get the highest score you can get(great for some scoreboards...illegal for others)...Novice wrote:If you can not, then you will try to be illegal what any tecnique what you can not carry out.
(AS ALWAYS.)
Camel try's case was very typical.
That was triple higher than yours. and what did you do?
As I have pointed out before, what is "against the spirit of the game" is not some universal truth. A good example of this is the offroad technique in outrun. Many people claim this tactic is "against the spirit of the game" or is "not what the programmers intended." However when sega released a new console port of outrun, in their magazine ads there is a screenshot of someone using the technique. It was one of two screenshots shown. If sega were so against people doing it, if it were so "against the spirit of the game," they certainly would not included a screenshot of someone using the offroad technique in their ad.LN2 wrote: I guess you will never understand that. it is something that should be at the heart of any gamer.
could that just be a coincidence? basing a lot just on a picture. did the artcile actually discuss the trick and state the programmers intentionally put that in the game?zlk wrote:However when sega released a new console port of outrun, in their magazine ads there is a screenshot of someone using the technique.

this isn't the same case for outrun. not like cameltry.Then people claim the technique is makes the game too easy and thus "will destroy competition." The problem with this argument is that plenty of people play outrun in Japan.
yes, I am sure it wouldn't be easy...the top scorers likely played the game tons...plus a few of them likely could kick butt playing it without using the trick as well. I would much rather see these masters play the game that way versus using the trick. Playing the game without the trick you can't even get close to the same score. You might be setting a new WR in score racing at a higher skill than anyone(cuz more traffic and bushes to avoid and curves to negotiate) yet not show in score cuz all others used the trick.there is one way to win the argument: beat the gamest record in outrun. Show everyone how it is done. I can guarantee it won't be easy.

you are full of it. I didn't submit my 680k cuz I wasn't playing out t10. If I submitted a score for rompers again it would be 1+ million.Novice wrote:P.S.
noo's rompers play was far from flawless at thier level.
even if it is much higher than ignorant guy's ultimate possibility.
My bounty expired (not sure about Novice's). If somebody's been working on it and really wants to keep at it, let me know in the next week and I'll consider extending it.Zhorik wrote:Ok, $50 cash bounty for breaking 5M before the end of T10. $150 for breaking 10M before 23:59 GMT April 27th, 2007.
